eczema questions

Friday, June 13th, 2003

To whom it may concern,

My name is shaheen ahmad and I am 21 years of age, and I have had eczema
since I was 2 years old. It was extremely bad when I was younger. In 1991, I
went to Pakistan with my mum and sister, when I was 12 years old. We went in
the hottest months from May-September. At first, the heat was unbearable,
slowly I got used to it.What the heat had done to my skin was that maybe, it
sweat off the dirt dry skin and the eczema. I used to have really tight,
dry, skin on my face which became exteremely dark because of my eczema.
Around my lips used to be dry, hard crusts because of my eczema. However
living in the intense heat of the sun, in Pakistan, my itching had gone, I
no longer needed my steroid cream that I so heavily relied on especially on
my face. My skin became lighter, softer and smoother. However when I came
back to England in September, my eczema came back with intense itching.
Although, living in Pakistan had helped me externally, it had not CURED me

How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of Al

How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds
As you read this work and put its principles into practice, there are two basic
axioms you never want to forget. They are the rock upon which all your actions
are based.
Nobody, anywhere or any time and under any circumstances has the right or power
in this country to immunize you or your children against your will and
conviction. If they attempt to do so, you can legally charge them with "assault
with a deadly weapon" and have the full resources of our laws behind you.
At all times in attempting to avoid unwanted immunization, you have the Law of
the Land behind you. Those who would try to vaccinate you against your will are
on very shaky ground. Into every compulsory immunization law in America are
written legal exceptions and waivers which are there specifically to protect
you from the attempted tyranny of officialdom. It is not only your right, but
your obligation to use them, if this is what your conscience tells you.

anyone heard of mahonia aquifolia for ezcema ?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2003

Posted about this before and got no replies. This seems to be turning
into the mercury fillings board !! Every other message is about
fillings. Maybe I’ll not get a reply unless I write about my
fillings :-)
Hoping someone has heard of this herbal extract for ezcema and can
give their views.

Thanks

CLEARING UP

Tuesday, June 10th, 2003

HAVE BEEN TAKING BORAGE OIL FOR NEARLY 6 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE SEEN A
REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE IN MY SKIN CHANGES. HAS ANYONE USED BORAGE OR
EVENING PRIMROSE AND SEEN CHANGES? ALSO QUIT TAKING MY BIRTH CONTROL
(DEPO POVERA) AND AM NOT SURE WHICH IS CLEARING IT. HAVE ECZEMA ON
MY HANDS, ARMS AND LEGS. MAIN PART OF MY BODY AFFECTS IS MY LEGS
FROM THE KNEE DOWN. ANYONE TAKING AND HERBS OR VITAMINS THAT SEEMED
TO HELP? CAN’T AFFORD THE MERCURY REMOVAL AND AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH
ECZEMA IS REALLY AFFECTED BY THIS.

I came acroos info about this herbal plant extract, which seems to
work wonders for psoriais/ezcema. It gets very good reports in tests
and certainly appears to be very effective. I wondered if anyone has
any experience with this product. Info can be found at
Taylor-Jackson.com. I first heard about it at my health shop. Maybe
it
can be of some use to others.

tomatoes, again

Monday, June 9th, 2003

Hi, this to everyone, particularly to Katie:
Stopping tomatoes was not particularly difficult in the grand scheme
of things. I figure if I do not have to suffer unbearable itching
and unsightly inflammation, cracking, oozing and bleeding skin, and
all I have to do is quit eating tomatoes, then this to me is an
acceptable tradeoff. It would be nice to eat them, but obviously
they are not healthy for my particular physiological makeup, and
definitely NOT worth the price. As I said, I am delighted that I can
actually have small amounts of tomato sauce for pasta, chili, etc.
because it is the sauce that I really love and fresh tomatoes, I can,
reluctantly give up.

I am also motivated by my 11-month old son who I breastfeed, he also
has eczema and seems to be improving with my removal of tomatoes,
although not as dramatically as me. He is slowly clearing up, but

tomatoes!

Sunday, June 8th, 2003

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share a story…try to make it quick as possible.

I had very bad eczema on my hands and face…so bad on my hands they
were cracking, bleeding, had to wear gloves etc. My face would
sometimes swell up so badly I was embarrassed to go out. And the
itch would drive me nuts.

Anyways, I went on a gluten-free vegan diet to try to find out the
cause. Kept breaking out. I was eating mostly raw foods. Then I
read about macrobiotics, which is mostly cooked foods and no
nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco and a few others).
Gradually I started to improve on this regimen. Make no mistake,
this was SO hard for me. I felt very hungry (as a side benefit, I

Skin Cap

Thursday, June 5th, 2003

Hello all. I thought I would throw in my opinion here of Skin Cap. It
was banned from the market for a very good reason. It sometimes causes HUGE
flare-ups of psoriasis. I know because I tried it when it first came out. At
first, it seemed to be clearing up my psoriasis. However, after about a
month, I had the worst flare I had ever had and found out this was happening
to others on Skin Cap also. I ended up so bad that I spent a couple of months
in bed with pain killers. So anyone wanting to use it, just be careful.
